Do’s pressure and finishing instincts proved decisive, forcing the referee to step in midway through the second round. The loss marks a setback for Kim, who entered the bout aiming to break into ONE’s deeper bantamweight rotation.
What’s Next for Kim
Despite the defeat, Kim remains a promising talent with clean striking fundamentals and strong composure.
